Pros

Opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies. Opportunity to experience Asian working style and relationship :), noticeable record in resume.

Cons

Military/Korean promotion style, early promotion almost impossible despite of your achievements, you can only be promoted after the fixed time interval. Inflexible working schedule. I was lucky to work in two teams and the impression is completely different, everything depends on your team leader. If your manager follows the korean old management style you can be forced to work overtime even if this work is really useless. Also, overtime job payment is unfair, much less than one for ordinary working hour.

Big company, outdated culture

Pros

The barrier to entry is low, as they always need replacements

Cons

Please do not be fooled just because it's a popular company. - Outdated company culture, incompetent "dinosaurs" getting promoted instead of people who do the real work. Imagine boomers in the office yelling and lecturing anyone like it's the 1980s. Working here is like walking on egg shells. - Non-flexible company. No work life balance as they do not allow WFH at all. Everything is bureaucratic and rigid. Everything needs approval from at least 4 levels of upper management. Everything in the office is blocked like you're in prison - Turnover rate is high. Office politics is high which creates a tense and toxic office environment. Such a shame. - Lack of diversity. The company is run by 2 major race. And English is not even the first language used in the company. So expect to hear non-English speakers most of the time. Most people speak and send emails in broken English - HR systems are so bad because they outsource it, many things are done manually and employees are required to clock in with their cards minimum 9 hours a day. Work timesheets are sent to employees monthly to please micro managers.
